Forgot about you for a while… http://www.stephenblacker.com/2012/04/ah-yes-hello-blog-forgot-about-you-for-a-while/ http://www.stephenblacker.com/2012/04/ah-yes-hello-blog-forgot-about-you-for-a-while/#comments Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:26:18 +0000 admin http://www.stephenblacker.com/?p=187 Haven’t posted here in quite a while – my usual promise to myself to update more often has gone unheeded…  again.

Let’s see.  I’ve been pretty busy with work, and I’ve been gearing up to put a new reel together for 2012.  I’ve also been working on some new music and putting some time into improving my knowledge of various bits of software during my scarce free time.  But the most exciting thing has been shooting and editing a test episode for a series of short documentary shows I’m working on with some friends.  I don’t really want to get into details since it’s early days yet, but it’s fun and definitely a learning experience.  It’s also nice to get out and do something other than sitting in front of a computer monitor all day, to be honest…

Spring is in the air (finally), there are new projects on the boil and it looks like being a productive summer.  Cheers!

No constant interruptions – I can focus and get things done.
